He's "raised the profile of climate change" a bit, yeah, but he's also given climate change sceptics loads of ammo by making factually incorrect films, and worst of all, Live Earth… Does no one remember how bad Live Earth was? It was BAD.

authoritative views, but just pointing out that the view is questionable - what makes a democracy? what makes a war? etc. The fact that the CIA have helped to overthrow democraticall elected governments? is that a war? and also...Bush didnt really win the first election in a way that implied fairness and legitimacy, though he did win the second one.

you cant really go, well i dont think me should help turn countries into democracies which in turn will mean less wars. However, it surely more to do with trade, and stability, and wealth that leads countries to war and not democracy, which just happens to be the hook that we can hang everything on at the moment. is it neccesarily the best option for the middle east?

and bush is also very friendly with saudi arabia and im pretty sure there not a democracy, so it feels like hes not that bothered about it all....and im not sure that war was the best way to create peace in the long run. it might work, but is it worth so many people getting killed? you have the whole, well lots of people would have died anyway, but that just means you have to find a non lots of people dying alternative, hopefully.

"Unfortunately for world peace, the Big Mac Attack Rule finally broke down in 1999. On 24 March 1999, NATO began its air attack on Yugoslavia. Faced with angry nationalism, vandalism and boycotts, all the McDonalds in Yugoslavia shut their doors on 26 March. This means that for two full days, McDonaldland was wrenched asunder by its first intramural war ever. When McD finally reopened on 17 April, it was an occassion of public celebration almost matching the end of the Kosovo War itself."
